Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory Item

2015-07-29 Thread Elisabeth Keppler
Forsyth County (NC, not GA) has been hoping that an inventory module would
be developed but it doesn't appear to be in any of numbered sprints for the
browser-based client.

The Sitka model certainly does work.  I strongly recommend breaking the
collection into clearly defined segments that you can finish in a
reasonable amount of time, based on shelving locations or whatever works
for you.  Since batch editing items using the Item Status screen can crash
if you try to do too many at a time and will prevent you from doing
anything else in Evergreen at the same time, I usually break my txt file
into chunks of no more than 250 items.  I've processed 10,000 item files
over a weekend, but it takes patience.

Thanks,
Lise

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory Item

2015-07-29 Thread Trisha Cantwell Keene
We tried this method using the 'lastediteddate' however I was not able to
create a report with my limited knowledge and our older version.

Given our large workforce of workstudy staff we were able to chose a rather
labor intensive method, which has actually worked well for us. We needed to
do a lot of quality control maintenance, and that is getting done.

We are weeding sections first.

We scanned sections into excel sheets and matched the barcodes against an
inventory report from Evergreen. We then identified the items which weren't
in the inventory list and also those missing. Again, we have fixed a lot of
problems which otherwise would go undetected.

I expect we will have our 'numbers' by Jan. 1, 2016 at the latest. Further
repair and maintenance to catalog and items will likely take longer.

We have 3.5 full time professional staff, 20-28 10 hr per week workstudy
staff (amazing people these!) and a collection of 45,000.

I hope you find this helpful.

  Hi Scott,



 I’m certainly no expert, but we had sort of the same question a few years
 ago.  Here’s a link to describe some methods that have been done before:



 http://markmail.org/message/2yxyv4kwtdxb7h4s



 It’s a transcript of a SITKA conversation where they checked-in items
 using a wireless laptop, which sets the last edited date…then ran a report
 on the system for items whose date did not match this……



 I’ve never tried myself yet, but seems a reasonable approach…maybe other
 folks have found a better method?

The active date is set the first time a copy is scanned for check in  
or check out.

It sounds to me like the date that you want.

Quoting Hardy, Elaine eha...@georgialibraries.org:


Not exactly. The date inventoried is the date an item is confirmed to be in
the library's collection, either on the shelf or out on loan. It is system
set during an automated inventory and is separate from active or other

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Full author date on individual titles?

2015-07-29 Thread Tony Bandy
Hello everyone!

I've been whacking away at this for a few days now, but can't seem to be 
finding any info.  Thought maybe if you had run into this, might be able to 
steer me in the right direction?



On our Evergreen 2.7.2 system, when we search for an author, say Ernie Pyle, 
the results list includes a full birthdate in this format:

Author--YEAR-Month-Day

However, when looking at individual title results, the format is only this:

Author--YEAR

I know more than likely it's something with the authors.tt2 file (misc tt2 file 
as well???) but not quite sure



Have you run into this before?  Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Inventory Item

2015-07-29 Thread Grace Dunbar
For clarification, the web client work detailed in sprints is simply to
move the current staff client to a web (or browser) based application
instead of a downloadable client, so new functionality like an inventory
module will not be included. But Equinox did provide a recent-ish
development quote to Rogan at SCLENDS for an inventory module. I rethink
revisiting that set of requirements might be a good launching point of
there's interest in development.
Cheers!

 The results are:

 Sandford, John, 1944-   Cook, Michele.

Thanks for providing the example.  It turns out that
opac/parts/record/authors.tt2 is in fact responsible for displaying

100 1# ‡a Sandford, John, ‡d 1944 February 23-

as

Sandford, John, 1944-

or more to the point:

span class=rdetail-author-div typeof=Person property=author
resource=#schemacontrib1
  a href=/eg/opac/results?...
span property=nameSandford, John,/span
span property=birthDate1944/span-/span/a
  nbsp
/span

Specifically, as part of generating the schema.org markup, only the
year component of 1944 February 23- is kept.  The normalization is
done in the following lines of authors.tt2:

IF subfield.textContent.match('^\s*\d{4}');
  birthdate = subfield.textContent.replace('^\s*(\d{4}).*$', '$1');
END;

I *think* that better markup for the birth date in this case would be
the following, but I'm hoping Dan Scott can advise further:

time property=birthDate datetime=1944-02-231994 February 23-/time

Or, to avoid putting in a full date string parser into the template,
perhaps something like this:

time property=birthDate datetime=19441994 February 23-/time

Hi Scott,

I'm certainly no expert, but we had sort of the same question a few years ago.  
Here's a link to describe some methods that have been done before:

http://markmail.org/message/2yxyv4kwtdxb7h4s

It's a transcript of a SITKA conversation where they checked-in items using a 
wireless laptop, which sets the last edited date...then ran a report on the 
system for items whose date did not match this..

I've never tried myself yet, but seems a reasonable approach...maybe other 
folks have found a better method?

We have been with EG for four months, and this is the first time this has come 
up: there does not appear to be an Inventory Item function (at least in 2.6.3). 
I am not finding a Date Inventoried field in the item record nor can I locate a 
way to inventory an item. Am I missing something obvious? If not, how do 
Evergreen libraries inventory their collections?

Thank you,

Hello everyone!

I've been whacking away at this for a few days now, but can't seem to be 
finding any info.  Thought maybe if you had run into this, might be able to 
steer me in the right direction?



On our Evergreen 2.7.2 system, when we search for an author, say Ernie Pyle, 
the results list includes a full birthdate in this format:

Author--YEAR-Month-Day

However, when looking at individual title results, the format is only this:

Author--YEAR

I know more than likely it's something with the authors.tt2 file (misc tt2 file 
as well???) but not quite sure



Have you run into this before?  Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your help!

We also do more or less exactly what Jennifer and others have outlined in more 
detail.  When the scanning is done, we generally pull our missing list directly 
from the DB, with a query something like the one listed below (adjust to suit), 
which we then import into Excel for staff/student searching of items.

 PINES a number of years ago explored development of an inventory

 We did develop a now dated document on using existing functionality to 
 inventory. I have attached the pdf. I have not reviewed it in a few years.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen 2.9-alpha Release Postponed

2015-07-29 Thread Jason Stephenson

Hi, all.

As release manage for the Evergreen 2.9 release, I decided to postpone  
today's planned alpha release pending some resolution of two new  
Launchpad bugs:


https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1479107

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1479110

Both of these affect the conditional negative balances features, and I  
thought it better to wait for some progress on those fronts rather  
than releasing something that will change quite a bit in behavior in a  
few weeks.


Furthermore, the release notes for the conditional negative balance  
feature have not been rolled out, yet, as those notes also depend upon  
what happens with the above two bugs.


Cheers,
Jason

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Full author date on individual titles?

2015-07-29 Thread Mike Rylander
Interestingly, the search under the author name link is retaining the full
value from the 100$d.  I suspect normalization in the tpac itself is at
work here...

[looks at code]

Yep, it looks like there is some normalization of $d around line 72
of Open-ILS/src/templates/opac/parts/record/authors.tt2.  If the field
starts with for numbers we take just those, and likewise take just the year
part of the death date.

HTH,

 Hi Galen, folks,

 Thanks for the update!

 Here's a search that should show a bit better:


 1.  Search our Blanchester Library for books from John Sandford


 http://blanchester.cool-cat.org/eg/opac/results?fi%3Aformat=query=Sandford%2C+John.qtype=authorlocg=111

 The results are mixed, but if you look at the hit for Uncaged you will
 see:

 Sandford, John, 1944 February 23-


 2.  Now if I select that particular title:


 http://blanchester.cool-cat.org/eg/opac/record/930326?query=Sandford%2C%20John.;qtype=author;locg=111

 The results are:

 Sandford, John, 1944-   Cook, Michele.

 ---

 I'm not a cataloger, so maybe the full date is a nonstandard use?  I
 checked
 the authors.tt2 file(s), but wasn't sure--thinking maybe it might be
 something else?  I checked the bugs list as well, but didn't see anything
 directly related...

 Thanks for any ideas as you have a moment!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Marc Export Script Error

Quoting Paul Hoffman p...@flo.org:


The leader appears truncated:

LDR 00620nam a 2a

That's 13 bytes, not 24, hence the error message about substr  
outside a string

(the leader).  Maybe byte 13 (the 14th byte) is the null character?


I concur with Paul.

The leaders are too short on those records.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Feedback requested on patron editor in web client

2015-07-29 Thread Joan Kranich
Hi,

The patron edit screen looks good.  I like that the options for Save and Save  
Clone are on the right where staff currently click and also because most staff 
using a mouse use it on the right side.  I'm assuming that if you do not want 
to Save then staff would just click the next function such as Holds.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone on the feedback you provided for the patron editor. 
I've created a mock-up based on the feedback - 
http://www.screencast.com/t/4lcqzkcxedgN.

The idea is that all of the elements above the Patron Edit heading in this 
interface would remain fixed to the top of the interface. This mock-up displays 
the edit view of the registration/edit form. The tabs that bring you to the 
different areas of the patron record (check out, items out, holds, etc.) would 
be fixed as well, which fits in with the easy access we have to those buttons 
in the existing client.

Although people didn't think it was necessary to keep the display options 
accessible at all times, I put those in the fixed area primarily because it 
made the best use of the space available.

Let me know if you have any feedback on this mock-up!
